My expectations regarding the trip were met. Our tour guide Hasham was excellent. Very honest to us in regards to our safety and what to expect. Always there with us especially when we were inside the medina in Fes with the local guide assigned to us. Tried his best to attend to each and everyone's need during the trip I would say that he's an asset to this company.
